Can I cry? I keep saying I'm gonna get my Alec sweater done but just found out that HEY my method of dying this thing SUCKS.
AND TO YOU, YOU STUPID ALEC WIG: I hate you. Your beautiful for a steriotypical rainbow-y gay man but...but... Alec's a cat lady with moth holes! WHY MUST YOU BE SO LONG AND SEXEH?! I mean your half way down my neck, your longer than my real hair. I'M A GIRL.
UGGGGGGGHJHHHHHHH
Everytime I think I'm happy with my progress I see a pic of Kevin, the real actor picked to play alec, and I just wanna crawl into a corner and burn down the world.
Should've chosen "Sebastian" to cosplay. Me and him, could seriously burn it to the ground.
Seriously.
-_-

Looking for people near the Shreveport Louisanna area to cosplay with!!!

Ugh, my friend always seems unprepared for every con. He was planning on getting more hair coloring this week for a con this week, but ended up not having money. The whole $2 or so...now I may have to take him to the store the day of the con to buy more, since his parents sure won't bring him to the store. Don't want to wake up earlier, especially since I'm doing Black Friday shopping tomorrow too... :/

Just found out that my friend that I normally go to conventions with probably won't be able to go on Sunday for a convention happening this weekend. If he ends up not going on Sunday, not sure if I should skip too since I may be bored Although some of my other con friends may entertain me :/

Arda is tempting me with their new winter wigs. May have to buy the Valentina for my Boo cosplay...among other things.

Arda is ALWAYS tempting me with their wigs. I have zero will power. ><

I actually just got done dying one of their wigs! It's not quite as dark as I wanted, but i'm still SOOOO HAPPY about it right now. And since my house if full of relatives for Thanksgiving, I can't really squeal about it like I want to.

@CautiousAmber: Yeah, I've been eyeing Arda for so long now. But my cosplay ideas keep changing so I never end up buying myself a wig! I did buy my best friend their Nia Candy Striper, and the Valentina complements it so well (for an Alice in Wonderland idea I have). I guess it will be an early Christmas present for myself.

@Kell: I always know when you're on cosplay.com. You and every other logged in user!

Never thought I would be getting a lot of cosplay stuff done on Thanskgiving but I have. 0_0 Morgiana is pretty much done, just need to make her leg wraps and necklace, Saber now has a necklace and I just finished putting the details on the greave, now need to figure out how to attach it to my leg. >_>

Phew. I feel like I have been on a whirlwind fabric acquisition period, with only moderate success.

Red has her cloak fabric and lining, her skirt material, and possibly her bodice material (if I feel I am satisfied with the one I bought) collected. I haven't been able to find overskirt material as of yet, that matches. But we're getting there.

Non-generic/Generic steampunk thingie has her skirt material, and corset material, but not the linings, contrasts and some random notions.

In short, I have lots of random fabric, less money, and a naked dressform awaiting her next fashion show.

Cosplay Plan of Attack:

Umm.... nothing at the moment is being worked on.All creative power diverted to FanExpo Artist's Alley table! Yay! Accessories and such!

Hmm, I wonder if the woodbaby puppet site (the people that make the shoulder-puppets with heads that move by that hidden cable device) could do a sort-of-custom colour order for an owl. I'm going to get myself an owl one, and I would LOVE if they could do one with the specific markings/colours to Owloysius from MLP. Especially since I was going to wear it for, first off, my Twilight Sparkle cosplay. How many can say they've got a shoulder-Owloysius for a prop?
